Counseling for Young People, Ages 16-24
Navigate Life's Challenges With Confidence
Your parents don't understand you. Your brothers and sisters think something is wrong with you. You feel lost, confused, and overwhelmed by all the changes in your life. You're unsure what you should do, and you don't know who you can talk to about your feelings. If you have friends, sometimes your closest friends don't seem to get you either. And social media amplifies your feelings of isolation and inadequacy.
But guess what? It's totally normal! The years between ages 17-24 can be hard. You might be dealing with feelings of anxiety, depression, social anxiety, struggling with dating, family distress, or other life issues. You're not alone. There are so many transitions happening during this time. You may be finishing high school, preparing for college, finding your first job after college, or moving out on your own. You may feel like you're not equipped to make any of these decisions, or you may fear making the wrong decisions.
We are here to help you express your thoughts and feelings. Our Young Adult Individual counseling and groups can help you navigate these challenges with confidence and provide you with the emotional support you need.
